What year did you become a real estate agent?
2005
How many years have you been in Real Estate?
I've lived in Mohave County, AZ since the late 1990s & I've been a real estate agent for 2 1/2 yrs.
What is the average home price in your market?
The average home price in the Kingman area is $145,000.
Are there any new developments or trends in your area?
Mohave County is one of the fastest growing counties in the United States. While currently taking part in the nationwide real estate market slowdown, Mohave County is poised for an early recovery to this slowdown. I see two primary reasons for this. 1) baby boomers...the United States has a significant population of baby boomers planning to retire within the next five to fifteen years. Many of these retiring baby boomers will be looking to relocate from large, congested cities in snow-belt, rust-belt states or California to a more mild climate and a small city or rural area. These people will want to be relatively close to a large city, like Las Vegas, for entertainment and air travel options, though. These people will want affordable housing and relatively low property and income taxes. Mohave County has these things to offer and more; 2) transportation/distribution...Mohave County, is situated geographically as a transportation hub for moving people and goods to major metropolitan centers in southern California, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and beyond with Interstate 40 running from east to west through the county, with US Highway 93, which has been designated the NAFTA highway, running from north to south through the county, with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad running east to west through the county. Our geographical location, coupled with affordable housing, low property taxes, and a mild climate makes Mohave County a perfect place for companies large and small to locate warehousing, manufacturing, and distribution centers to serve major metropolitan areas of the southwest United States, as well as our growing local economy.
Why do you enjoy being a real estate agent?
I enjoy working with people. I especially enjoy working with people who are trying to make their dreams come true. Whether realizing the dream of homeownership or the dream of finding a great investment property, I find tremendous satisfaction being a part of turning dreams into reality.
What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional?
As a real estate professional, balancing the hectic pace and expectations of clients to always be available with spending quality time with family.
Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
One of the most satisfying moments in my real estate career is seeing the look on the face of a prospective buyer when he or she knows they found the right house or the right piece of land. This really gives me a sense of accomplishment.
What is your best characteristic?
I am an extremely organized person. My organization skills allow me to best serve my clients in an efficient and timely manner.
Who or what inspires you the most?
I am most inspired by giving each client 120% of my abilities...be it finding the right property for a prospective buyer or successfully marketing my sellers' properties.
What is the best advice you ever received?
Honesty and integrity are important qualities that can't be set aside for any reason.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Before moving to Mohave County, I researched many other communities around the United States. I wanted to find a community with friendly people, a small-town feel, great weather, affordable housing, low taxes, nearby entertainment and air transportation.
Kingman, Arizona, offers everything for which I was searching in a community. I am very happy living here.
